THE GAME PLAN
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it.
He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough.
They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it.
You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.

SPIT!!!
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman admitted that he had been offered to serve as minister of defense for Ukraine.
Vindman, 44, explained during his impeachment testimony that he had been offered the position three times but declined the position because of his loyalty to the United States. The lieutenant colonel was born in Ukraine, but his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a toddler.
Vindman claimed he did not know why he was offered the high ranking position of defense minister.

Vindman lost his job at USAID! LOL
Poor No-chin Vindman. He will lose his government-issued health insurance, just as he was looking into getting a chin transplant…

I don’t believe Vindman ever worked at USAID. The Benz post is only part of Vindman’s post on Feb 8th, nitter link here:
https://nitter.poast.org/AVindman/status/1888096095613427897#m
The facebook post he linked in that post didn’t work for me, however it does appear that he was highlighting the post.
Alexander Vindman is currently the Hauser Leader at the Harvard Kennedy School and Director of the Informed American Leadership program at the VetVoice Foundation.2 He is also a senior fellow at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Foreign Policy Institute.
With a little prodding (Leo/Brave AI): Current Professional Employment of Alexander Vindman
Alexander Vindman is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who has held several positions since his retirement. Here are some of his current professional employments:
With another prod:
There is no indication that Vindman worked at USAID.
That’s a lot of payback for treason.
Not enough!
Looks like the resume of the average communist hiding in plain sight.
How many of those positions were USAID funded?
Pritzker Fellow?
I believe Vindman was referencing someone who purports to work for USAID, not himself. Either way, it is ironic.
They’ll probably hire his twin brother to replace him.
Hey Alex, Sympathy lies in the dictionary between sh!t and syphilis! Thanks to a$$holes like you, I lost my job 3 years ago!
Alexander Vindman himself worked for USAID?
Well. Isn’t that rich?
And why is Mike Benz talking about cooking up freak monster viruses in Wuhan?
What about the cooking up of freak monster viruses in the Ukraine?
That’s where that Vindman bunch is from, the Ukraine!
Makes me want to get an account on Twatter so I can read the comments.
But, I don’t even know how to work an Eye Phone so there’s that.
o.0
I think he’s just quoting and emoting about an USAID employee, not himself.
Embrace the suck, Flounder.
Mike Benz, obliterating the emotional blackmail.
Tell the devastated USAID worker (assuming the assertion to be true) to contact Samaritan’s Purse or Habitat for Humanity about a job.
I think Samaritan’s Purse also got US Aid money.
If this story is true, and that’s a big “if”, because Vindman is a liar, it’s on him (Vindman) that the person lost their job, because it was Vindman an his ilk who allowed the situation where decent, innocent Americans were unknowingly working in a putrid swamp of a false front agency.
Nice that people make sure to try smear Samaritan’s Purse with the broad USAID brush.
Quite sure Samaritan’s Purse (and likely some other legitimate organizations) could ‘bring the receipts’ and show you exactly where that money went.
I’m also sure DOGE poured through their donations as they did all the rest.
Maybe waiting until those receipts from DOGE come in could be done, unless you people have some references and citations to the graft they’ve actually committed.
I didn’t say they couldn’t.
Just who is “you people”?
Where is this “smear” you speak of?
If a worker lost a job due to loss of USAID money, looking for work at another place that also receives USAID money may not be feasible.
Do you understand that?
Learn to code….
Vindman, of the Double-Minsk Twins Vindmans.
Let it be written: “He drank the COUP-AID!”
“Oh no all the people across the globe!” meanwhile in the USA, I still see beggars on the side of the road.
Anyone remember when he gave this speech?
It may be from President Trump’s Agenda 47 website.
Here’s the link to the site where you can see this short video and many others.
There’s is a “Dismantling the Deep State” video. It’s the 14th video down under the “Statements” tab. It maybe that one or a similar one.
There’s also an “Agenda 47” tab.
All great info presented in short, easy to absorb messages. You can see and share many other great messages from our favorite President like this one.
Here’s the link (or as Diamond and Silk would say, Take a Look!):

🔥On Friday, the Blue States filed a Motion to Enforce TRO claiming Trump Administration had violated TRO. Tonight Trump Administration responded. The filings illustrate precisely what I noted were issues before: that court failed to conclude what law would be violated.

President Trump salutes during National Anthem and gets a crowd pop when they see him on the big screen.
That’s my Commander-in-Chief!
Trump is a military officer, and so it is correct for him to salute in this way.
Also, Commander in Chief of military so absolutely correct. Just as all Presidents salute the military personnel greeting him as they deplane …even Obama!
The fellow citizens who know exactly why he’s saluting appreciate the clear signal he’s sending.
Commander in Chief.

The unhinged ruling by an equally unhinged activist masquerading in black robes had to happen and was expected. Ironically, a setback in a skirmish here and there is often necessary to gain the upper hand in a larger battle. The statists, in their panic, flailed around and found a complicit ‘jurist’ and prevailed on him to do something…ANYTHING…to hamstring the disaster unfolding before them. [Help! The cattle are dying! sort of stuff…lol] And in true fashion, as is typical of that ilk, weak and corrupt men and women who believe they carry the legacy of Solomon, he went overboard – way overboard.
Without citing violation of law, or even inviting input from the other side (!), he stripped a presidential appointee, confirmed by the Senate, of most of his authority. But that appointee is merely a subordinate of, and acts on the behalf of, the President. So, in effect, this jester in the black robe, playing the fool, thinks to constrain the Executive from his Constitutionally-mandated role of overseeing the operations of the Executive branch. This was not simply questionable jurisprudence, this was an exercise in raw judicial activism that, if not overturned, sows the seeds of a Constitutional crisis by inviting Executive nullification, something the SCOTUS is determined to avoid.
As I’ve suggested before, they act as if they want a revolution, but… We are in for some interesting times. 😉

Within the last year or so, there were a few articles addressing the concerns of Pfizer and society’s vaccine “hesitancy”. And in the same said article I read, it mentioned Pfizer had many doses stocked and unpurchased. Fast forward to recently when the stock price tanked over 2%.
This is RFK,Jr.’s week….if only for the jabs, I hope he gets in, for the children…(LOL, but seriously). He needs to stay in his lane though and leave the 2nd alone.
Enough is enough.
I’ve seen where he acknowledged why so many MAGA people consider the 2A of utmost importance, as it’s our check against a tyrannical government.
He’ll be fine on that, they aren’t going to sneak in any of that “guns are a health issue” on his watch.
Now, if he’ll say the same on climate, I’ll rest easier.
He’s said “carbon is the wrong way to measure environmental degradation”.
My apology for not having a link for you… looking for it.
I can vouch for that. It’s the face-saving way that some people are backing out, they call it carbon fundamentalism, and they say it was a mistake to put too much emphasis on it.
“Why so many MAGA people”????
I know you are just paraphrasing, so I hope he did not phrase his actual comment in a way that skirts around telling us what HE thinks.
I’d prefer to hear him say something that shows personal buy in to what “those” people think.
IIRC, he wasn’t coming out and saying that he was wrong, so much as saying that he was persuaded that the 2A is inviolate with good reason.
He’s not MAGA… that’s a fact.

please see below
https://open.substack.com/pub/franciscogilwhite/p/part-1-is-trump-for-real-or-is-this-kayfabe-management-of-reality?r=21fcqx&utm_medium=io
I read this. Set forth quite logically. Asks the same questions we asked last July. But for the author (not you) to suggest that the President was in on that assassination attempt is pure and utter crap. The President would trust that the bullet would hit “only” his ear and not his brain? That’s what I got out of this. That the whole scenario was orchestrated and the President knew in advance? I believe it WAS orchestrated. Period.
Somebody please explain what I missed.
That this poster has intermittently spammed us with such unexplained “queries” directed to Sundance despite Treepers always sharing the site email and explaining how such things are properly done?
Other than that, yeah, you got it; everything is fake, nothing is real, Derp State Lies Forever.
Maquis, go research this guy.
He got a PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology.
His MA is in Social Studies.
He taught at the University of Pennsylvania.
Now he works in Mexico.
He got fired from a conspiracy website called Emperor’s Clothes.
So, the essay basically says that President Trump is an actor who never goes out of character.
The whole thing reeks of gaslighting.
Word Salad ala Thesaurus, if you know what I mean.
And he’s going to publish a Part 2.

We’ve seen the left do this many times. They take parts of the truth and spin a tale of anti Trump baloney. Could this all be a long glorious script of a play or movie? 8 years or more of an extended run? Never making a mistake or messing the script up?
Anyone of us could twist facts to fit a narrative or change a truth if you were clever enough at thinking one up and a good writer. That’s why truth is hard to pin down these days. This article is clever I’ll give the author that, but he really doesn’t prove his hypothesis does he. It’s made up. Could it be true? Maybe, however there are lots of holes in his smooth talking attempt at planting doubts in people’s minds.
That being said, I do not think any person trying to run our govt. and country should be given a no questions asked run at it. We trust PTrump but we also have the right to question his actions, words and to keep watch ourselves and always look for the real story.
The enemy will work in many ways to undermine those working for the good of this nation. Trust God to show them to us when we need to see them and to help us block them. Be on guard, be ever watchful, find the truth, fight on.

The FIRST sitting U.S. President to attend a Super Bowl in HISTORY: President Donald J. Trump.
The crowd is going CRAZY
https://nitter.poast.org/bennyjohnson/status/1888724703705206838#m
First president to attend the “March for life.”
The First Lady wasn’t with the President today at the Superbowl.
That was the College Football Playoff championship game in New Orleans in 2020.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7884011/President-Donald-Trump-Lady-Melania-arrive-NCAA-College-Football-Championship-game.html
Melania wasn’t even there. I had hoped to see Barron there and First Lady but it looked like Libby Ivanka had to show her arse up out there….She should have stayed home. Where is Melania? She’s not been onboard back to Washington that I’ve seen so is she in Florida or NY with Barron? I thought I read she was redecorating the residence but I would have thought she’d get back to Fl with POTUS on occasion.
Thank you, Val!
I’m not a troll.
I can’t describe how pissed off I am tonight at the biggest unforced TWITTER/political error of VSGPDJT’s 2nd presidency, and one of his worst, politically, overall.
Where was Barron to say, “DAD – STOP!!!!!”??
Kicking the “Swifties” when they’re down over the Super Bowl blowout was dumb. A classic, “grin and bear it” Trump error.
It may be too late, but for chrissake, get some damage control on this. 2026 elections.
Please let me explain:
I’m in a purple town in a red state, with friends on both sides. I went to watch the game on one end of town, and most of the employees and half the customers were Kelce/Mahomes/Swifties, dressed in sequined Kelce jerseys, etc. Nice, purple people.
Owners are Purplecrats and they put out a free country feast for everyone. That’s our town. TV’s etc were messing up bad with timing and sound. Somehow most of the Eagles fans (the smokers) figured out that the back porch TV was working, but I couldn’t handle the smoke.
Let me try to drill down now:
I drive 5 miles to a more “red” bar. TVs were working. All the old oilfield families were there. They were booing the Chiefs. Taylor Swift was shown for a few seconds and the place erupted in deafening ‘boos.’ A few seconds later, Mahomes throws an interception. The place erupts again in cheers. Electric moment.
All the old men/ladies continue on how they hate Mahomes because of the refs and Swift because she sucks.
I respond that Mahomes was witnessed out LATE gambling in NOLA and is playing like he’s been drugged – as fast as Aaron Rodgers 2024. I also say that Taylor’s music can be repetitive but she has some very good lyrics. So all we old folks leave.
I head back to the other place to scoop up some insaaane leftover BBQ but also because I am human:
The young Swifties will be upset, and I want to be kind. I drop by the house, a short detour, to put on the Swiftie bracelet that the kind, young, very smart medical student had given me awhile back, apropos nothing.
I walk back in, she still shining in her sequined #87 jersey, deflated in the loss, and say to her: “Part of becoming a fan is taking a hell of a hard loss. That was a tough one, K—.” Then I show her the bracelet and say some things to make her smile.
Why, oh why, oh why did Don have to rub it in??? Sticking in the knife on Taylor was so damn classless, when I’m softly trying to bring the young folk back to America.
Trust me, he just lost a significant number of votes. I went to my purple friend and PDJT knifed her hero. Like Rodney Dangerfield in “Caddyshack.”
I hope at least one Trump advisor reads this. Y’all owe Swifties a grovel, if you’re in time.
I’m going to bed. Mr. President, fix it. You just threw the bird to a lot of young, persuadable voters.
You are human, so I forgive you. Can BARRON possibly be a filter? Our beloved president has to be completely exhausted. What a useless tweet.
I will do damage control on my end, in my purple area, but jeez, leave Taylor alone. I mean, I used to play with matches and newspaper in PawPaw’s shed. STUPID TWEET!
ZZZZzzzzzzzzz
LOL Leave Taylor alone? Really?
The Taylor/Kelsie “romance” is a fabrication to draw the Swifties into the NFL eyeball demographic.
I highly doubt the Swifties are a major demographic in politics and will result in little if any shift in President Trump’s policies .
Benny Johnson nails it!
https://nitter.poast.org/bennyjohnson/status/1888788175369175181#m
Anyone still have that link of the woman acknowledging on video Swift is a CIA asset?
And her boyfriend is nicknamed Mr. Pfizer.
So they were both pushing poison.
because Taylor should have kept her effin lips out of politics. PERIOD. She is unsufferable and despicable. She deserved a beat down. I just love the fact that Kelcie is a Trump fan and she has to know that lol
Did you see her face? That was the best part of the game….actually I didn’t watch, dont’ watch, just caught the media spots of her
lmao…
Mr Vaccine commercial is a Trump fan?
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/travis-kelces-mr-pfizer-gig-stirs-debate-covid-vax-messaging
A Pop Tart filled with artificial ingredients. You may be right. But she is also aging…and becoming ‘stale’.
We did just fine with out the demented little swifties.
They need to be kicked in the rear end another twenty times.
It’s a lot more than the Super Bowl loss that has Taylor down. Taylor is a mean girl. Many swifties have found that out over the last few weeks as her part in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni scandal/lawsuit has come to light. Taylor’s reputation is currently suffering from the exposure she’s receiving in the Lively/Baldoni lawsuit. Regardless, when a mean girl Taylor actively and publicly worked against Trump. I have no problem with Trump posting mean tweet to her.
Most of her fans were the young ‘tweeners’….the prices she charges for her concerts show her deep love for them/s…am hearing something like $800…? T shirts in the above $50 range? No kid or real parent can afford that, today? Or parents put it on their card? Like other pop stars…she will soon start to ‘age out’ and have to find another way to stay ‘relevant’ and in the public eye.
I never liked her.
I was just about to mention what they did or tried to do to Justin Baldoni…. and he is a lefty.
Her endorsement of Heels Up was irrelevant. The loud booing she received was her confirmation she’s irrelevant.
oh please
our President Trump
has the right to cheer and jeer
at his opponents who tried
to jail him, bankrupt him and kill him
Taylor Swift has said some very nasty things about President Trump first
he hit back
you can turn the other cheek
not his style
Reads like a dear diary entry. Jim Acosta, is that you?
I’ll bite, Dads son “ I’m not a troll”
You are right. The booing of Taylor was such a massive vindication for Trump that by sending a juvenile mean tweet he actually generated a modicum of sympathy for Swift by kicking her when down.
It would have been more effective to drop the Mike and walk off. But as said, not his style.
The truth is that it is a good learning experience for the little Swifty fans to have their world view, as espoused by movie stars, exposed as not being universally accepted wisdom.
Is this satire?
Taylor Swift wasn’t just a psy op in the last campaign.
Taylor Swift, like Katy Perry and Madonna and “Lady” Gaga have always been psy ops, aimed at the minds of our 8 to 15 year old daughters.
MK Ultra lite, as it were.
Seen in that light, President Trump was just assisting with the un brainwashing.
Did you notice in the Super Bowl pregame where they featured Gaga on the street playing piano that when they panned out the neon sign next to her was “PIZZA”……
Gaga has always been a freak show.
She reeks of perversion and filth.
Her videos are wildly popular with young people despite the fact that her videos are full of occult symbolism.
Synopsis:
“Lady Gaga ‘s music videos and performances are often analyzed for their occult symbolism.”
“For instance, her video “Bad Romance” is interpreted as depicting the dark and ritualistic inner workings of the entertainment industry, symbolically showing Gaga as a sex slave. ”
“The video includes numerous occult symbols, such as references to the sun god Ra, the horned idol Baphomet, and Masonic symbolism. ”
“Additionally, her video “G.U.Y.” features elements like the star of Ishtar and Monarch butterflies, which some interpret as representing her death and rebirth through Monarch Programming.”

Oh puleeez. Is this the best that you guys have for Bad Orange Man propaganda?
The crowd cheered for the Eagles when they took the field and booed when the Chiefs took the field. Is that PDJT’s fault as well?
Good grief. What utter drivel.
In case you weren’t paying attention, Swift has stuck the knife in Trump so many times with her illiterate, virtue-signaling *cat lady* karenhood. She’s not a good human. We owe neither her nor her disciples anything.
Please forgive me for reading between the lines,
Stop pandering to lefty women thinking you might score. They need to be led, not followed. Its bad for you, never ends well. Free advice from and old man.

He did not come out onto the field at the SB.
This is false.
President Trump has ordered the Secret Service to turn over “every bit of information” it has about the two men who tried to kill him during his presidential campaign.
It begins….. Those phone pings will come back to haunt the Deep State.

Hmm… I’d say they were ALL in on it.
If you’re not a prepper, you might want to start being one in a hurry. Just in case more stuff gets shut down. Not talking about three letter agencies here. But speaking of agencies, check the records of that five-letter agency. No sooner was it shut down than the President called for a complete investigation into the two assassination attempts on his life. Huh.
That said, I found no SOURCE for the article posted. Until then, it’s speculation just like my comments.

If, IF, this is true, then Joe Biden and many others are in deep caca.

No more pennies. Capitulation ot inflation?
https://apnews.com/article/trump-penny-treasury-mint-192e3b9ad9891d50e7014997653051ba
Spending 3 cents to make a 1 Cent penny, seems like a easy thing to cut.
Also it’s not like we’ve in danger of running out of pennys to distribute at change.
I’m just gonna wrap them up in those flimsy paper things and deposit the rolls. Really boring task but too cheap to use a coin counting machine. Have often wondered if anyone counts the pennies at the bank:)
At our credit union if you’re a member there’s no surcharge to use the machine.
Look at everything we buy. How often do you see a flat rate cost? I work in a grocery store.
Pint of blueberries $4.99, loaf of whole wheat bread $3.99. Hot dog buns $1.99. Tomatoes$2.99 / pound, just a few examples. We all see these and many more prices all ending 9.
So now all prices will be rounded up. $5.00 for that pint of blueberries. Everything. Not being a nay-sayer Nancy here, just pointing out the fact that now we will be paying more, one penny at a time.
And for those of us who have been picking up those discarded pennies and saving them, we know that they add up over time.
And you will now see a run on pennies, once everyone realizes the treasury won’t be making them anymore. At least until the retailers decide to commit themselves to the rounded up pricing. What happens next is anybody’s guess.
And don’t get me wrong, the penny issue has been a big stinker in our economy and market for a long time.
But the perception of cost is gong to be a big issue for many.
Not just rounding up to dollars, but the sales tax. It’s 10.6% in my county, 9.9% the next county over.
Let’s say I buy items for a total of ten bucks. The sales tax will be $1.06, so I’m out four cents.
You know how on the federal tax return you have an option to declare how much sales tax you paid in a given year? Or … you can just go with their estimate. I think the IRS may have to up that estimate.
If, that is, there’s actually an IRS left by the end of the year! Right now, I just want my refund.
Just click the “round up to donate your extra pennies to charity” button on the self-checkout kiosk ! Problem solved!
Barf.
Given all the DOGE reveals, I no longer have confidence that that measly penny would make it to “charity.”
Wouldn’t your $1.06 purchase with tax round down to $1.05 instead of rounding up to $1.10?
And now what about the nickel? I saw in the same AP article that they cost 14 cents each to make, but other sources say 11-12 cents. And the dime costs around 5 cents to make.
About 3 years ago, I fought Walmart over a penny discrepancy at the automatic kiosk when I paid cash for my purchase…they gave me my penny.
I did some math on the issue based on an assumed number of times, if that happened and WMT kept that one penny…over a year and I forget my number for times it happened in one, just one of their stores and one kiosk….I came up with something like $300,000+ dollars on WMT balance sheet for ONE store…
So playing devils advocate…
That said…this could be a slippery slope to the end of hard cash. How much does it cost to make a nickel? A dime? A quarter?
All it would take is another false flag to crash our ‘cash’ system….just saying…
I used to have an idea to restore the value of our currency. Announce six months in advance that on midnight Jan. 01, the decimal point of every amount on every contract would move one place to the left. Then, once again, a dime would be worth what a dollar is now. It would be a boon for holders of domestic cash, but we would cut loose the overseas Benjamins by no longer redeeming them.
It’s not a slippery slope, it’s the beginning of the end.
That “costs more to make” argument can be fixed by fixing the economy.
I was hearing about a shortage too. That could be fixed by asking people to bring in pennies to the banks.
There are many pennies extant, they are fairly durable, we could just pause in making them and round up what we’ve got to get them back in the system.
How many people bought into the stories about “drug dealers’ favorite denomination” and how our paper currency was contaminated with cocaine?
Then it was the nonexistent coin shortage and coof double whammy during covid.
Musk has already told us about his plans for an “everything” app, and run making his own version of the iPhone up the flagpole.
When people start hearing a slogan over and over, there is brainwashing in play.
A fixed economy doesn’t mean a rollback to a time when a penny will cost a penny or less to make. I’m optimistic, but not that optimistic.
Aggiegirl. You were in Walmart fighting over a penny?
I admire your energy.
Office Space…..
They can drop the price of blueberries to $4.95
More likely $5.05!
It’s 4.99 because it gets your attention in the $4 range as opposed to $5.00.
Most will round down as they will sell more units marked at $4.95 than at $5.00.
“What happens next is anybody’s guess.”
Nothing, you won’t even notice it. Here in Australia, we got rid of our 1c and 2c coins years ago (5c now the smallest) and rounding works both ways, for example 96c and 97c will get rounded down to 95c; and 98c and 99c will get rounded up.
In Trinidad the exchange rate is is 6 TT to 1 USD. You actually walk on pennies out side many stores and in parking lots.
The Trini’s even view them as worthless.
Australia is a lot closer to ‘no more cash’ than we are, but we just moved one step closer.
Rubbish. We dropped the 1 & 2 cent coins 30-years ago (1992). Long before any talk of a “cashless society“.
1). It costs 3 cents to mint 1 penny.Seigniorage.
Seigniorage is the difference between the face value of money, such as a $10 bill or a quarter coin, and the cost to produce it. If the seigniorage is positive, the government will make a profit; a negative seigniorage will result in a loss.
2). Usage of cash is declining precipitously. Especially coinage. I literally can’t remember the last time I SPENT coins. Yeah, I spend cash once in a while, and get change. But that change never stays in my pockets…it goes into a can in the kitchen, and periodically gets dumped into a machine at Publix for a store credit. I’m not advocating getting rid of coinage….but dumping the penny just makes too much sense.
Nobody is proposing eliminating the ability to price anything to a cent. And why would everything be rounded up when 99% of transactions don’t use cash to complete?
I am a coin collector…30 years. I use cash all the time. I like my pennies just fine.
Agreed. I hate how much space they take up in my wallet’s coin pocket.
I always annoy or confuse the clerks by giving them the extra pennys so I don’t get pennys back and use up the ones I have. Example if $14.53 I give them $20 plus 3 pennys.
That whole 99 cent pricing started back in the day by a newspaper publisher in Chicago who convinced local merchants to start selling items for a penny less than a dollar to seem cheaper than a competitor when his real motivation was that people leaving those merchants would have more pennies in their pockets and would be more likely to buy a newspaper from the boys selling newspapers on the streets. It proved popular and spread quickly across the nation.
There is other change that adds up than pennies. Even when I was a child my grandfather rarely kept them. He would go through his change and outside of a store walkway or parking lot he’d toss them in the air when there seemed to be no one looking. Then we’d sit and wait and enjoy watching someone be happy at finding it or them.
Even in 1968/69 the only readily apparent value to a penny was not in a purchase because there was no more penny or two for a penny items anymore, it was in watching another person’s being happy to find it.
I would have been happy. In 1968, a penny bought two pieces of candy at the drugstore.
We were not allowed in liquor stores, even to return deposit bottles… so once the corner stopped carrying 5 or 2 for a penny, pennies didn’t mean much.
Sales tax on most everything makes the amount you pay not round amounts. Gas used to be priced at 9/10ths of a cent.
The percentage of shoppers paying with cash has been in decline for years. Younger generations hardly carry cash. Points earned on credit cards are incentive to not pay in cash, though allowing retailers to charge a surcharge for credit card use is pushing back somewhat, many retailers are reluctant to lose customers and continue to eat the processing fees.
The 99 cent price tag is an attempt to make a product look less expensive- to most people with functioning brain cells, it is no different than the gas stations that posted the price in 9/10ths of a cent.
No need to do that at all. Just round up or down the total, the most you will be penalized is 4c.
The vast majority of people no longer use cash at all. There will be plenty of pennies for anyone wanting to use cash — while stores still accept it.
https://www.govmint.com/coin-authority/post/how-much-copper-is-in-a-penny
After 1982, the penny was minted as:
97.5% zinc. 2.5% copper
All our coinage is essentially worthless as there is no silver in the composition.
Pre-1965 coinage is still valuable at 90% silver for dimes, quarters and half dollars.
Copper is in the process of hitting an all time high. Maybe someone knows something about looming copper inflation?
Price of copper should drop.
Great. Then my government can just ROUND DOWN to the nearest nickel. Let them take the financial hit a penny here and a penny there. I am not going to tip them by rounding UP. They can call it a Tax Holiday and let me round down.
I mostly pay on a card any way.
The physical moving/transport of pennies is expensive too – which will likely continue as long as they are still in circulation.
I saw a bag of 100 plastic pennies in the school supply section – for learning to count – $2.39
Fake pennies are more valuable than real pennies.

The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.
https://nitter.poast.org/elonmusk/status/1888891512303263815#m
I am sure the hotels do not mind being paid.
The Roosevelt Hotel is owned by Pakistanis.

Some years ago David Baldacci wrote a novel called The Sixth Man. I’m starting to feel like the guy in the first few pages of that book. Spoiler alert: He goes nuts when his brain can’t take in all the info being thrown at him simultaneously.
And it’s only Day 22.
Baldacci’s book “The Whole Truth” regarding perception management was another excellent use of fiction to expose a whole industry.
He also wrote another book exposing the US demand for dropping the Swiss banking secrecy, while protecting a certain class of numbers, mainly held by politicians.
Happy rats and studying cocaine? What about he cocaine in the White House? That would be an epic study.
So when they aren’t eating the cats — they’re making them dizzy! 😺

Expelling the global / communist hordes, first out of the USA and then out of Europe.
America’s expelling of the illegals out of it borders will be an example of what needs to be done in Europe to expel all of the dangerous, non-nationals out of their countries.
At a point, in the future, NATO (funded mainly by the Europeans) will be repurposed from defending against Russia to defending against the hordes of dangerous non-nationals who have been let into Europe’s borders, much like biden’s treacherous open borders let in 26,000,000 non-nationals into the USA.
The demand for expulsion, following the example of President Trump’s mass deportation of America’s invaders, will come from the people, not from their leaders. The people will drag the leaders into doing it.
Along with the non-nationals, the citizens will throw out the crop of globalist / communist leaders who got them into the mess in the first place, aka America’s 11/5/24 election. This action will remove the base of operation for the globalist / communists who used it to spread their anti-American garbage, thus further securing America from some foreign dangers.
The problem in both Europe and the United States is that we have aborted just about as many as illegal aliens have been let in….
We will have plenty of money for Medicare and social services if we remove millions of illegals not fully paying into the system but who consume proportionally more tax dollars for low income housing, food stamps, etc.
We are told we need to breed more because fewer younger workers can’t pay for the larger numbers of aging seniors benefits.
Abortion is not the direct cause of the problem.
And THAT is the real problem!
We need to make holy American families, with lots of babies great again!
When did Roger Goodell and the team owners decide they were a new religion, insisting on telling fans how to live one’s life in America? Virtue signaling throughout this entire spectacle which was once known as a football game; this sporting event has morphed into a moment where even advertisers tell us the life values we should embrace beyond the products and services they want us to buy. Why does Brad Pitt (who supposedly loves architecture-note to the late designer Sullivan) get more than 30 seconds to tell viewers what America is all about? Has Tom Cruise just lost his Mission Impossible directive?
That half time show…sure, I saw the costumes of red white and blue; yet I wondered why the total lack of creativity was so easy to spot. The late Michael Jackson had done all those dance moves, etc. years ago…as the first real and true video artist. For singing, can anyone beat the late Prince and that show he put on? As to the National Anthem, I loved that piano (and so did Yamaha!), but who is going to beat out the late and great rendition by Whitney Houston? It’s all about the passion of presentation, being real.
Even Taylor Swift got a jolt- not from a Dunkin Donut coffee; rather a crowd that could care less whose girlfriend’s hand she clutches when entering her private booth or when she kisses her loser boyfriend. Donald Trump loves sports events, especially when he can join the players to hear the roars of fans who love the game. It’s the showman in him, seasoned over years of similar behavior.
And when it costs over $4000 bucks to get a seat while a wandering overhead camera zooms right into a huddle where lip readers learn the next play in super high definition, I wonder who those fans in the stands are? Maximus, where are you?
The Super Bowl ain’t about football any longer; that’s just the excuse to push values to millions that maybe we never wanted to hear nor be exposed when all we wanted to see was a great game in a sport we love. I guess I’m not that big a fan for this show of what? Has the ugly American re-appeared? I noted that Caesars Palace has it’s name on the Superdome…we’re all Las Vegas lovers now! Symbolism over substance…I’m just not sure I like this direction nor understand it.
Then again, the Super Bowl tells me that the Daytona 500 is just a week away and Spring is right around the corner. Maybe this is what it is all about, saying goodbye to Winter in a grand style. I miss Joe Namath! Time for me to recognize I’m old and out of touch perhaps…oh well, I think Zendaya and Tom Holland are more than just a cute couple; they really love each other!
I used to love watching the Super Bowl, now I just don’t understand it…time for bed I guess!
That half time show was absurd. We switched channels. What a missed opportunity for some really spectacular entertainment.
Also glad the Eagles won, just as a life lesson for Kelce and his girlfriend.
It was boring and tedious. I’m told there were individual songs in there, but it came across as one long drone, with repetitive dance moves.
When you step into the arena you are going to lose sometimes.
I didn’t even watch the game, or miss it at all.
Gave it up a few years ago when the NFL injected all that political nonsense into the game.
NFL is still woke.
Halftime show was extremely BORING.
So sick of low IQ “Celebrities” lecturing to me about what to think and how to live my life. Brad Pitt is an airhead that used to be pretty. We have had black rappers for the halftime entertainment since 2020-coincides with when P Diddy’s partner in crime Jay Z took over the entertainment for Super Bowl halftime. Five straight years of the worst of black culture being shoved down my throat and being told not to notice it because “racist”.
I just now read what he said. It seemed pretty pointless. Maybe he was hired as a sort of non-apology for woke, IDK.
That rap crap isn’t music IMO. Not seeing any real talent there despite some of it making big money.
Anyone can recite a few profanity laced lines that have zero melody.
I can remember some great black music that came out of Motown, Philly, Chicago, ect. Not anymore.
Thanks for the info. I don’t participate anymore after they started wearing pink socks. If I am going to watch a game it is to get away from crap, not to be spoon fed it.
I did have to pull up the bud commercial and see the Clydesdales though. Great stuff.
Football might want to take a lesson from Anheuser-Busch before it cost them.
Yea, I liked that ad…but then the lyrics (background song) used the word “high” how many times? Subtle subliminal messaging perhaps?
Bet me Christie Noem could ride one of those horses anywhere!
No, no, no! You are missing the target.
It was not virtue signaling but MONEY LAUNDERING that I assume we were watching.
The virtue signals sold nothing so likely they were GIVEN big money by NGO’s to produce and play those spots.
Seems to me professional sports would be ann ultimate dirty money laundromat.
Rapper is an outspoken Christian. even though it was impossible to understand the words, the rapper was praising God on stage.
He did not do his big hit, until the very end cause there was a big lawsuit over his “not like us” song over calling another rapper a “pedo”.
I read he changed the word to avoid the lawsuit.
I’m suspicious all the negative hype is being amplified cause they don’t like to see Christians in positions of cultural influence.
JMO.
Over the past century, the globalists / communists in the legislative and judicial branches have used “regular order” to steal powers away from the Executive Branch.
Well, get ready to watch the greatest “rope-a-doper” of all times, President Trump, turn that around and use the “Constitutionally based regular order” against the globalist / communists in the legislative and judicial branches.
He will tie it around their necks and let them hang themselves.
Watch carefully, Grasshopper, and learn well …… as the saga of the G.O.A.T. President Trump continues to Make-America-Great-Again.

‘Morning, Frank…!
Jordan Peterson and Dr. Simone Gold’s convo is a short refresher course on the scamdemic and is well worth the time {9mins}.
From my experience{auto tech} the scale of deception exhibited would be akin to the API {American Petroleum Institute} releasing a statement verifying that motor oil contains a microscopic virus…
And the “remedy” is to add antifreeze to the crankcase with each oil change in order to combat the destructive nature of the “virus”.
Trust the science ?
Trust God.
Fear not.
Just a quick question. There was talk that Elon paid 40 million dollars for 4 commericals during Super Bowl. I didn’t see them when I watched on Tubi. Did anyone see them?
That was misinformation to get hopes up.
No such commercials!
The only thing I saw was the T-Mobile/Starlink Commercials, so I believe this was where his money was spent!
That was definitely one of them. I was surprised that he would leash Starlink to a German telecom.
He’s been pretty active in German politics lately.
We didn’t either and thought maybe they were shown only in “blue” areas who needed to see them.
I know this sounds crazy,but if it wasn’t for the installed potato, Our Lion wouldn’t have had so much time to sharpen His claws…
Also, there were things that Biden did that is now being used by President Trump such as taking away clearances from Biden and others.
I prayed the Divine Office this morning as I do each day listening for scriptural readings that relate to circumstances that create darkness and confusion as well as the antidote, which is prayer of supplication and the protection of Almighty God.
He is answering our prayers. Don’t forget prayers of thanksgiving!
God come to my assistance
Lord make haste to help me
Good reminder.
My prayers have become very general, as of late.
Except of course for the ones for specific people outside of politics.
I’m thinking there must be some government regulation that we don’t know about that says if you steal 9 million, 900 million, 9 billion ,then that counts as a misdemeanor and it’s not worth the time to investigate . If there’s a few million in pocket change left then throw that into the slush fund over there just to cover our wayward groping hands while we drink our taxpayer sponsored champagne
Waiting to hear, not to patiently, to hear that all the FBI that is tipping off illegals, including gang members are fired and charges brought of espionage. That also includes the Times’ editor and article writer. They put our ICE troops in danger while leaking information to known criminals.
Time for arrests. The optics of exactly who to arrest are being considered, I’m sure. The Soros radio station person broadcasting real time information seems like a good first arrest.
and next deport Soros & son and take the radio stations
There’s a huge shake-up going on at the LA Times that started around the time that the owner refused to endorse Kamal Toe and told the editorial board and writers to lay off writing articles and op-eds bashing President Trump.
The owner is Patrick Soon-Shiong who is an oober wealthy 72 year old surgeon from South Africa.
Patrick is the founder of NantWorks, a network of healthcare, biotech, and artificial intelligence startups.
He’s also involved in other things most interesting; his bio being worth a look-see.
On to his writers and editors:
“Journalists at the Los Angeles Times have been facing a voluntary buyout program initiated by the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, who aims to manage costs due to the publication’s financial challenges. ”
“Soon-Shiong, who acquired the paper in 2018, has faced criticism for his efforts to shift the traditionally left-leaning publication towards a more balanced political stance.”
“This move has led to uproar among staff, with some journalists feeling that their work has not been positively reinforced. ”
“The voluntary buyout program was announced in an email to employees, offering those who have been with the newspaper for two years or more the opportunity to resign and receive buyout packages.”
“This decision has resulted in a mutiny among journalists who are displeased with Soon-Shiong’s vision for the paper.”
Basically, Patrick is dealing with a bunch of ButtHurt WokeTard vengeful employees who would love nothing more than to sabotage the newspaper- on account of feelings.
In their quest for revenge these morons are going to find themselves in a place they really don’t want to be.
This will be a story to watch.

I don’t ordinarily refer you to political philosophical articles, but here is one that’s quite interesting:
https://www.rt.com/news/612407-gambling-liberal-warfare-toolbox/
It connects “gambling,” and the techniques used to promote it, with what the author dubs, “liberal warfare.” And, “positive and negative freedom.” How liberals twist and exploit arguments to advance their causes and schemes.
It’s a long article, and fairly dense reading, as you might expect from a Professor. But, still worth it, I think. Apparently it is a first of a series to be published on this site.
Looks deep. Thanks for posting.
Gambling is one of the ways they are using as warfare against our young men. We are all familiar by now with how they used woke to destroy professional sports (something that brought Americans together), we are less aware of how online betting is the coup de grâce.
That isn’t the only damage, of course, we could still be a country without professional sports, but sports are not the only thing being bet on.
The author is quite articulate and describes the machinations of Liberal Warfare in such a way as to benefit casual readers, many of whom may not even be aware of the various brainwash techniques used in the attempt to shape public opinion and policy.
Liberal Warfare runs rampant in the mainstream media and on the internet.
Great share, Mike.
Hopefully, people here will read the article and glean some insight into how manipulative narrative builders succeed in changing wholesome cultures.

Mark Zaid’s statement (5 tweets) on learning of the revocation of his security clearance:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1888371662434799664.html
You are only entitled to due process if you have a property interest at stake, Mark.
The idea that anyone has a property interest in a security clearance is both novel and in direct conflict with the purpose for which security clearances are created.
As the person in whom all Article II powers are vested, and as Commamder in Chief, the President is the ultimate and unquestionable holder of any and all powers under Article II to grant or deny access to protected sensitive information, gathered in the military or the executive branch.
You know all of this, Mark. You read US v Trump too.
This statement is pure performance art. The bluster will only last until you get your @__ handed to you, if not by a cherry picked District Court judge, then by a Court of Appeals.
Purely Performative.
That’s not a ruling. It’s Evidence of Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice and Evidence Tampering.
Agree. But it works. The judicial branch is politicized. And The SCROTUS continues with its collective head in the sand.

There is a substantial cost to the taxpayer when something like this occurs, because the work hours spent in the planning cost something and are not recoverable.
We paid the people who organized the raids. Yes, they were on salary anyway, but resources were diverted to this that could have been devoted to something that gave something in return to the taxpayer, made something safer for instance, or upheld the law.
There was probably a lot of overtime too.
Maybe someone could run the numbers and when the leakers are found, the cost should come out of their pockets, as well as having them fired and doing time.
Well, something needs to be done, that’s for sure. Am wondering where the unions would be on that…
I tried a quick search on the FBI’s internal affairs, a.k.a. rat squad, but I didn’t come up with anything.

I could hug a tree out there…just sayin’….and that hug would keep me from falling in the river!
Morning bjorkdream
What a perfect camp site. Beautiful.
Thank you!
Have a blessed day.
Love the trees. Actually live in a forest.
Something about sunlight delineating tree bark really appeals to me. I actually have a cheap framed print with some of those same elements it. I was hesitant to spend the two bucks for it because I didn’t “need” it, but you know what?
We do need beauty.
We ABSOLUTELY do need BEAUTY!
Who is the Creator of all beauty, after all?

First off, military has to be incentivized to stay prepared and train.
Second, this “research” was done during Biden administration.
Third, here’s who funded it:
Funding for the 2024 Military Family Lifestyle Survey is provided through the generosity of our sponsors: The USAA Foundation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Macy’s, Inc., AARP, and BAE Systems, Inc., for their generous support of the 2024 Military Family Lifestyle Survey (MFLS).

Thank you
Two things – people get bashed here for bringing up issues like H1b or the JFK files because “there are bigger issues”, “it’s too soon”, “Trump hasn’t been in office long enough”, yet we see orders going out about pennies and plastic straws.
Don’t get me wrong, I
likelove some of these orders, as do millions of other people, just don’t come at me with your arguments when I suggest that something needs to be done now, that it can’t happen.I can tell you right now that there are a lot of people questioning whether Elon and DOGE have run out of corruption to the tune of trillions to investigate, with this penny thing.
IMO this should be raising red flags, that someone thought it was this important.
They are diversions. Just posted an article alleging DOGE’s plan to replace federal employees with AI. Who has a big fat stake in that kind of software?
Here’s another article (can’t post the same thing twice). This one’s about Palantir.
Elon Musk’s DOGE Is ‘Very Good’ for Palantir, Says CEO Alex Karp | Observer
Regarding the article about making the office buildings and commute so “crappy” that federal works will just resign, well …
A friend of mine works in Dallas. Dallas has insufficient office space for federal workers. Her job was therefore remote by design. With the return-to-office mandate, she has no office to return to. It doesn’t exist. The suggestion was made she could move from Dallas to Oklahoma, at her own expense.
Dumpy offices for the necessary workers is one reason government doesn’t get the best workers.
There is a human cost to it all…
Can you walk and chew gum at the same time?
I see that my point went right over your head.
Your rude retort just puts your ignorance on full display.
Get over yourself, not everything is a personal attack, and not everything is a conspiracy.
It is to Clarion! 😂
She’s always consistent with her daily anti President Trump screeds
You are rude and ignorant.
How many times do you post a day? Just curious.
How rude of me to ask?
This is an excellent article posted earlier this morning by another Treehouse contributor that goes to the issue of Liberal Warfare.
The author, I assure you, is well capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time.

Hopefully, people here will take the time to read the article and glean some insight into how manipulative narrative builders succeed in changing wholesome cultures.
o.0
Did you just send me an article from rt.com?
And we’re off with Clarion trashing the President again and beating her daily H1b rants.
Ahem!!!! Did’nt Secretary Hegseth call for an audit? Perhaps the DOGE team need a ride. Don’t know if the DC metro is running….
Mike Benz provided the outline in two outstanding interviews with Tucker Carlson. Here are some of the receipts.

Elon Musk: DOGE Team Discovers FEMA Spent $59 Million Last Week on Luxury Hotels for Illegals in NYC Violating the Current Law – Musk Vows to Recoup the Funds

Just gonna leave this here. Might want to skim through until you get to the part about AI replacing the federal employees. Ultimately, cui bono?
DOGE looks to shrink the federal workforce by making buildings and commutes ‘so crappy’ that employees will quit, report says
For those not inclined to read the article, some excerpts:
“Once those workers leave, the plan is to use artificial intelligence, according to the report, with DOGE staffers applying AI tools to government records to figure out how to replace humans. At the GSA, managers have been told that DOGE plans to automate a majority of jobs.
“The end goal is replacing the human workforce with machines,” another source told the Post. “Everything that can be machine-automated will be. And the technocrats will replace the bureaucrats.”
“The US DOGE Service, which was reorganized from the US Digital Service to enact DOGE’s agenda, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Wired magazine reported this week that DOGE is developing a chatbot for GSA called “GSAi” to boost employee productivity by analyzing contracts and drafting documents.
“The GSA owned and leased 8,397 buildings as recently as this past fall in more than 2,200 communities nationwide, according to the agency data cited by the Associated Press.
“On Jan. 29, GSA headquarters told regional managers to begin terminating leases on roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide, according to an email seen by the AP. A source also told the AP that the GSA’s goal is to terminate up to 300 leases per day.” — End
So leases are being terminated on federal offices, yet 2.2 million employees may no longer work remotely.
There will be insufficient office space to accommodate the employees. And that, good people, is the plan.
When employees have 15 minutes to justify their jobs, it’s not to justify their jobs. It’s to determine if AI-type software can do their jobs instead.
Again, I ask, cui bono?
A kid can’t possibly understand the drawbacks to replacing humans with AI. It just isn’t within their frame of reference.
I’ve been having trouble with a couple of businesses that obviously went to AI for a lot of their customer service.
We thought it has hard working with helplines before?
Understand that major monopolies no longer care if they get your business or not, because you have nowhere else to go.
.
The taxpayer benefits. What is the problem with this? That some people will have to change careers, maybe learn to do something else?
.
I don’t know if I do benefit from replacing humans with computers.
These young people are thinking about whether it is possible to do a job with automation. That doesn’t mean a job should be automated.
I don’t believe someone that young has the level of experience to grasp this. Certainly not from a fifteen-minute interview, and certainly not if that isn’t what you are seeking to understand.
Your link takes me to ‘MSN’ which uses anonymous sources in and out of government, as well as select bits and pieces from articles and quotes from AP, Wired, Post, and Washington Post that use as a base an article in Fortune to come up with this “report”.
Sure seems like a mish-mash of ’round robin narrative of confirmation build’ without many, if any, cold hard facts to me.
So I wonder ‘who benefits’ from this article?
This kind of utter cruelty is deplorable. To turn on RFK Jr. on a dime. This is what passes for a more “reasonable” Democrat in the party of RFK Jr.’s father.
I know we all know this, it’s just that I push it out of my mind for a while, but then it hits me again.
It’s not as if the Republicans aren’t hateful too, look how they treated President Trump. For some reason he’s able to not let it get to him as much. He’s unique.
Sen. Fetterman just saw RFK arriving and popped out of his office to shake his hand
RFKjr has wanted this job for twenty years.
Shucks, I was just fascinated by all the Senate office doors still adorned with a Christmas wreath, until I realized it was date stamped 12/18/24-then I wondered why so few! <smiles>
The Greatest Heist Of All Time: The Level Of Corruption That Elon Musk And His DOGE Team Are Uncovering Is Absolutely Mind Blowing
With respect to young Rep Byron Donald’s admission to Bill Mahr that he agrees to the dissolution of the DOE…
The young man believes the DOE $$ {appropriations} should be given more directly to parents.
Well, young man,
In order for a government to “appropriate” revenue,
Government must first “expropriate” said revenue from the revenue creators, whom, in these United States, consist of…
We The People.
And some of US don’t have kids in school.
Tariffs{external revenue} as the revenue source for the Federal Government
And
Taxes{internal revenue} under the jurisdiction of the states.
Vote with your feet.
In God We Trust
Trust God.
Fear not.
I agree with getting rid of the DOE, but we can do that as a stand-alone without getting into an overhaul of the entire way we do education in this country, which is not something that should be rushed, it’s too important.
Politicians shouldn’t be making snap judgements based on little more than feelings.
They did it in the 60’s when they mandated that all teachers had to have a college degree. Ever since then the quality of public education has gone down hill and into the realm of the leftist absurdity.
Good point, that started the ball rolling.
I’ve noticed a sharp difference between teachers my daughter had who, although they had college degrees, were literally “old school”, as mine were, and the newer teachers coming out of college since it was captured by woke communists.
We know what happened to the universities, we have been slower to understand that it has happened to teacher college, law school, and journalism.
While everyone was watching “women’s studies”, we didn’t keep an eye on the professions.
“The Federal [Lawfare …] Court,” and its Judge, should be immediately disbanded and disbarred for attempting to assume “the Office of the President” by fiat. I frankly think that Trump should exercise “the Andy Jackson strategy” against them.
“You are Article 3, not Article 2.” It’s that simple.
I just want to say “thank you” guys/gals for being here and posting all the jokes, news stuff, opinions on this stuff. You are a great bunch. This feels like “freedom” to me. We can express our feelings in “respectful” way, we are Americans, and we all respect our President Trump, … we can have disagreements about the “small stuff”. And have our “good” and “bad” days emotionally, and some days think clearer than other days. We are family on this site. Thanks for allowing me to be me, too. I appreciate it. I sometimes say stupid stuff, and when I read the comment next day, think “that was stupid”, and if I’m like that, my “friends” here are the same way too, “good” hours and “bad” hours. 🙂
